DailyF1News is mentioning a possible switch for Hamilton to Ferrari?

Now I really think this is a bit of rubbish. Hamilton clearly is disappointed with the team orders fiasco (which McLaren have been let off by the FIA). He clearly thought he could win the race, which he possibly could, however the team wanted both cars to finish the race, and I doubt that they would have if Hamilton had attempted or even made the overtaking move. Monaco is such a file-a-stern race.

Lewis probably said something that meant nothing of the sort, and the English press, feeling ‘robbed’ of there new heroes win have shot it out of all proportion.

Lewis has been a McLaren fan boy since he was a nipper, he is contracted to the team till at least 2011, and thinks of Ron Dennis as a second father. He would not broker a change to Ferrari, and Ferrari will not be looking to replace the ‘iceman’ Kimi Raikkonen quite so soon, after all he has not got used to the team and car yet.

Lewis is the ‘next big thing’ in F1, without a doubt, but he is at the correct team, with the correct people around him.

This is a learning year for him, and the team, and a payrise will surely follow next year, if not this year.

At 22, Lewis has plenty of time to move onto other teams and structures, but for now he is just where he should be, he would miss the support that the team and surrounding infrastructure give him currently.
